Dat was dus alweer ruim een maand geleden dat er eens een teken van leven uit OZ is geweest! Het is dan ook enorm druk geweest sinds de laatste update moet ik zeggen. Zat net ff het laatste verhaal te lezen, en helaas was er een soort van voorspellende boodschap uit dat verhaal uitgekomen... de hitte waar ik over sprak op die betreffende zaterdag was echt zo bizar als men had voorspeld, met alle doden, gewonden en honderden vierkante kilometers verbrand bos als gevolg. De dag was ook echt heel onheilspellend.... het was enorm heet (46.6 graden of zoiets geloof ik, en het schijnt dat Melbourne op dat moment de heetste plek ter wereld was) en de wind was gewoon eng. Ik was naar het strand gegaan omdat het binnen gewoon niet te harden was. Jacq ... read more

We are on Tasmania having a great time, but unable to upload the blog. Wait till you see the photo's you'll love em. Caroline has had a minor accident, she fell over whilst on a walk on Cradle Mountain, or did I push her I can't remember? But seriuosly, when she fell she hit her face. Her bunny teeth have made a bit of a mess of her lip, so I took her to Hospital, and she will be fine, they did not stitch it as they don't stitch lips due to infection, they are expected to heal properly, she is a little battered and brusied, so don't drink and hike ;-) Until we get the chance to upload the blog. P.s We have seen 12 Wombat, 1 Tasmanian Devil, 1 Echidna, and loads more stuff. ... read more

DAY 111 There was a rustling in the trailer, Caroline and myself both sit bolt upright, Caroline grabbed the torch and shone it towards the floor, a very large Possum was sitting on top of the food box eating a bag of crisps and when I say large, its probably the size of a big “Tom Cat”, but with an extra long bushy tail. I know we had seen loads of Wildlife last night but I had to be dreaming, this is our house, well trailer tent, and Possums don’t live in here. I got out of my very warm and cosy sleeping bag in to a very cold trailer tent, got down off the bed and on to the floor. With Caroline training the light on to our intruder, it hadn’t even turned around, totally ... read more

I can honestly say, it won't be a collection of photo's from all the Macdonalds we have had to visit to use their internet. So watch this Space. A&C... read more
